Pumpkin Carving Activity and Prayer

This is a great activity and prayer

....especially for little ones! 

I hope everyone has a safe and fun Halloween!

Dear God, 
 
As I carve my pumpkin, help me say this prayer: 
 
Open my mind so I can learn about You; 
(Cut the top of the pumpkin) 
 
Take away all my sin and forgive me for the 
wrong things I do; (Clean out the inside) 
 
Open my eyes so Your Love I will see; 
(Cut eyes shaped like hearts) 
 
I'm sorry for turning up my nose to all You've given me; 
(Cut a nose in the shape of the cross) 
 
Open my ears so Your Word I will hear; 
(Cut ears shaped like the Bible) 
 
Open my mouth so I can tell others You're near; 
(Cut mouth in the shape of a fish) 
 
Let Your Light shine in all I say and do! Amen. 
(Place a candle and light)
